I've tried languages and frameworks that my friends use because I can throw questions at them

With all the Q+A and documentation sites that exist, that might not be as big an issue.

I think people are very good at compartmentalising conflicting beliefs.

There are plenty of people who are pleasant, productive members of society who believe things that are absolutely ridiculous ( religious and non-religious alike )

For me the whole point of working out is to take a complete break from the computer.

I do some martial arts twice a week ( jiujitsu )

Other than standing and stretching at regular intervals, I don't think it's productive to try and do both at the same time.

vBulletin has run a lot of big forums and finding someone who has experience skinning it should be easy.

google search on books - on the back cover.

I'd like a digital wall paper on my walls so that I could change how my walls look every day.

Is there a way to abstract this into a service that has an api ?

You could setup your daily goals and the Tenacity API ( a name just invented http://declancostello.com/tenacity-api/ ) could be updated by different clients.

Tenacity could check an RSS feed to see if you've blogged every day ( like yahoo pipes )

It could parse an email sent to a custom address ( like idonethis )

Flashcard Software like anki could have a plugin that would access the API

twitter hastags, github checkins etc.

It would provide you with a dashboard of all the things you care enough about to be doing every day.

I'm not sure I'd like it to email me like facebook when I've missed some goals, but it might be a productive option.

I don't have the mojo to develop anything like this but would it interest other developers?

I'm interested in distributing subtitles online but am also at a loss to know where to start.

I think the problem is that there are so many different owners and licensers of content that there's no one way to get rights for content.

The problem only gets multiplied by the number of different countries, each having their own laws.

what languages / frameworks do your friends use?

Use that and ask for their advice.

I hate when I get email newsletters from do-not-reply addresses.

If I have a question or suggestion based on what I just received I'd like to be able to just hit reply and let them know.

I'm happy to get genuine ( non-automated ) questions from sites but don't make me jump through hoops to give my answers.

The more you study the better you get so try http://alljapaneseallthetime.com

There's some great posts about methods and motivation on that from someone who learnt Japanese in about 18 months.

This might be a great idea for a few days but trying to do 15 hour days for 3 weeks is too much.

Do weekend sprints where you can tell friends and family that you're going away / working on something but you can return to a normal existence afterwards. Maybe rent a hotel suite instead of paying to go to HK.

Surely anyone with disposable income will just register everything they see here in the hope that they'll be worth more than the $10 registration fee?
